Comment: The REST support for DSpace has been done by me during GSOC09 and is available in repository. Currently it is not fully integrated in DSpace and extensively tested, by I am planning to do it soon at least for integration as there was limited interest among developers during GSoc to test/suggest --– Bojan 21:42, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

- Simple Properties Configuration should be moved into the ConfigurationService and a ConfiguratonService provider should be created to manage database based configuration values.
- ConfigurationService API http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/modules/dspace-services/trunk/api/src/main/java/org/dspace/services/ConfigurationService.java
- Implementation http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/modules/dspace-services/trunk/impl/src/main/java/org/dspace/servicemanager/config/DSpaceConfigurationService.java
- Implement DSpaceDatabaseConfig based on DSpaceConfig http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/modules/dspace-services/trunk/impl/src/main/java/org/dspace/servicemanager/config/DSpaceConfig.java
- Maintain Defaults in classpath resources: http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/modules/dspace-services/trunk/impl/src/main/resources/config/dspace-defaults.properties
- ConfigurationService API http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/modules/dspace-services/trunk/api/src/main/java/org/dspace/services/ConfigurationService.java
- Application Context Configuration (associating Classes and Wiring Dependencies) should be moved to the new Spring configuration found in the DSpace Services.
- Core Services go into Spring Configuration: http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/modules/dspace-services/trunk/impl/src/main/resources/spring/spring-dspace-core-services.xml
- Addon Services loaded by secondary Spring configuration in each application (xmlui, oia, sword, etc). http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/trunk/dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml
- Core Services go into Spring Configuration: http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/modules/dspace-services/trunk/impl/src/main/resources/spring/spring-dspace-core-services.xml

At the moment metadata is not controlled (apart from controlled vocabularies) by any authority tool. There are a lot of national (mostly based on national libraries) tools and some international projects like VNAF in this area. Enabling metadata field based stackable integration of tools for ingest would increase the qualitiy of metadata and facilitate a lot of other tasks, like reporting and evaluation etc.

Past Ideas for Potential Google+Summer+of+Code projects
We have archives of all our Past GSoC Ideas Pages still available for reference/ideas. However, you should check with the available mentors before suggesting any of these older project descriptions. In many cases these projects may no longer be applicable, or may require rethinking to bring them up to date.
